When Berkman joins Rice, we must have them at Olsen at least every other year on a Tuesday, although I would prefer a three game series. There is so, so much I want to discuss with Lance!

Longtime Rice assistant coach Mike Taylor “has left our baseball program and we wish him the best in his future endeavors,” athletic director Rick Greenspan said Friday.
Taylor spent 12 seasons at Rice, including the past season as the top assistant on head coach Wayne Graham’s staff.

Former Rice All-American Lance Berkman has joined the Owls baseball program as a volunteer assistant, coach Wayne Graham told the Houston Chronicle.

"Coaching is something I want to pursue after I am done playing," Berkman told the Chronicle. "There's no better place to pursue that than with coach Graham at Rice.
"Having flexibility if I want to play another year or two was important. If I decide to hang them up, I have something to step into immediately."
Berkman assisted on a temporary basis during fall ball earlier this month with the Owls shorthanded on the coaching staff following the departure of longtime assistant coach Mike Taylor.
Regardless of whether he plays this season, Graham said Berkman will serve as a student assistant in the fall. Berkman said he plans to begin taking online classes in the summer and needs a year to complete his degree.
